Chapa Farmstay is a unique experience. It's about 20 minutes from Sapa town proper which is great. Very quiet and pristine. The little cabins are comfortable, with incredible views and the bathrooms are modern.
But the best part of our stay was the host family. We had such a great time chatting with the grandparents during meals, sitting around the fire on cold early mornings and playing with the children.
They arranged for our one day trek with a fun lunch in village along the way - ending with a traditional Red Hmong herbal hot tub experience.
Our last evening they invited us to join their family dinner and drink rice wine.
They also linked us with a local taxi driver who ferried us in and out of town as needed.
Staying with the family at Chapa Farmstay was the highlight of our 3 week vietnam trip!! We stayed for 3 nights and wished we could have added 2 more.
The farmstay was a highlight of our trip to Vietnam. The grounds and countryside were spectacular. It was a perfect base for our treking around the SaPa area. The family were so hospitable, the meals were great and the children very cute and friendly.
Good hosts and good family. They are very hospitable and very nice. It doesnโt matter if you are a solo traveler or with others, you will be cared for the same as if you were one of their family. Itโs so peaceful, this is the best part of Vietnam, in my opinion.
This is truly a family-owned establishment that welcomes you into its heart. From the moment i entered the reception, I was invited to a seat around the fire with A-Bom's (i'm not sure how to spell his name, sorry!) parents and offered tangerines while the kids and nieces of the family gambol about. They welcomed me to dinner with them that night, and all in made me feel very at home.
The property is beautiful-- please spend some time exploring the grounds and enjoying the breathtaking views of the terraces (you can see them from your bed!!) and the adjoining valley and river. It's a short hike to a nearby suspension bridge and also the Hmong village. Location-wise it's about a 7km steady hike from town (4km drive), the roads are uneven so it's not necessarily a comfortable drive. I would suggest staying here as an escape from the bustle of town and as a starting point for exploring Lao Chai and Ta Van villages, and not as a point from which to explore sapa town itself.
I really wanted to extend my stay because the morning views were beyond gorgeous and the peace of the farmstay is indescribable. Will definitely be recommending this to friends!
Chapa Farmstay er det perfekte ophold til folk der vil ud af det turistede Sapa og opleve omrรฅdet omkring Sapa pรฅ en anden mรฅde. Det er det hyggeligste lille sted. Man fรฅr sin egen hytte med en altan, med udsigt til den flotteste natur. Det er ret isoleret. Men det gรธr absolut ingenting. Den utroligt sรธde vรฆrtsfamilie laver en lรฆkker morgenmad og de laver ogsรฅ en fantastisk aftensmad der smager utroligt godt. De arrangerer samtidig trekkingture for en med en lokal guide. Man kan sagtens fรฅ transport ind til Sapa by eller man kan gรฅ derind hvis man vil ind til byen. Vรฆrtsfamilien fรฅr en til at fรธle sig hjemme. Du vil ikke fortryde at overnatte her. Kรฆmpe anbefaling.
This is the perfect getaway in Sa Pa. Located away from the town - which is extremely busy, touristy, and overwhelming, being able to stay at a quiet place surrounded by nature and beautiful views was amazing. The place is owned by a wonderful family who were very welcoming. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, a lovely balcony, and a super clean washroom. They had some great breakfast options and set dinner menus for each day (we had dinner once and it was lovely). They also offer organized activities such as treks, batik, and bracelet making. We did one guided trek and it was the perfect hike that included lunch at a local family's home.
The best choice for Sapa accomodation. Youโre surrounded by amazing nature and the cabins are really great. Comfy beds, warm showers, no mosquitos. I had a great time.
Staying at Chappa Farmstay is an experience that I wonโt soon forget. If you eschew the hotels and inns in Sapa Village in favour of a legit postcard perfect setting in the mountains, not just a view of the mountains. Youโre in the valley, and youโre staying with a kind, helpful, and friendly family. I was travelling solo and they invited me to join them on their nightly family dinners, and the food was outstanding. The hose arranged a jaw dropping trek in the mountains, set up a ride back to the town for my return to Hanoi, and even arranged for my laundry to be picked up in town. This spot really is an oasis or serenity, and I canโt wait to return. Youโre going to Sapa for the mountains and the experience, not to be coddled in a generic hotel in a town surrounded by souvenir shops.
An absolutely delightful stay at this modern and spotless farmstay. The family hosting us was incredibly warm and welcoming. Dining was a treat; the meals, both dinner and breakfast, were homemade and delicious. A big plus was the mosquito netting provided, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. Highly recommend for a charming countryside experience!
Such a wonderful family operating this Farmstay. Everyone was happy to help us out with tickets, transportation, anything we needed. The bungalows were comfortable and unique. The views were awesome. Such a nice change from the city hotels. We would definitely come back again!
Leider das ist das in der Unterkunft sehr geschmacksneutral. Leider haben wir auch den Fehler gemacht รผber die Unterkunft zu buchen. Was komplette abzocke war und jede Angabe hat leider nicht gestimmt. Sehr schade da die Unterkunft sonst ganz gut war.
The beauty of this place is in its simplicity, away from the maddening crowd in town. The surrounding is quiet and peaceful. The surrounding scenery is gorgeous! The host family is warm, friendly and helpful. It is truly a place for retreat, to restore and to rejuvenate.
